Program Details

Manhattan College offers six levels (Level 001 – 006) of Intensive English Language study to meet your foreign language needs. The levels consist of two beginner, two intermediate, and two advanced for pre-university English language proficiency. Our courses follow the Manhattan College academic calendar.

Our classes are limited in number of students, usually no more than 12 students per class. Courses are held Monday - Friday for 22 hours per week (Fall and Spring semester) and 30 hours per week (Summer sessions) and emphasize the following core domains:

Reading comprehension

Writing for academic settings

Listening comprehension and presentation skills

Speaking for conversation and classroom

Fall and Spring sessions take 15 weeks to complete and Summer sessions take 7 weeks each, and a certificate of completion is awarded for successful completion of each level. Students who successfully complete the IELP Level 006 will not need to take an additional proficiency exam (e.g. TOEFL or IELTS test) for entrance into Manhattan College degree programs.
